Interceptive Orthodontics in Milton, ON
Early orthodontic treatment can make a lifelong difference in your child’s smile. At White Canvas Dentistry, we provide professional interceptive orthodontics in Milton, Ontario to guide jaw development, correct bite issues early, and reduce the need for complex orthodontic treatment later. Serving Milton families since 2008, our team focuses on gentle, preventive, and child-friendly orthodontic care.
What Is Interceptive Orthodontics?
Interceptive orthodontics (also called Phase 1 orthodontic treatment) is early orthodontic care provided while a child’s jaw and teeth are still developing — typically between ages 6 and 10. This early approach helps:
- Guide jaw growth and development
- Correct bite problems early
- Create space for incoming permanent teeth
- Reduce the severity or length of future braces
Not every child needs early treatment, but for some, timing is critical.
Signs Your Child May Benefit from Interceptive Orthodontics
Interceptive orthodontic treatment may be recommended if your child has:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Crossbite, underbite, or overbite
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Narrow jaw or palate
- Thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use
Our team carefully evaluates growth patterns before recommending treatment.
